Jake Ferguson

Jake Ferguson played adequately for the Cowboys in 2024, finishing the season with 59 grabs for 494 yards. However, the 26-year-old tight end was recently quoted as saying, “I wasn’t satisfied with how I played last year.” Those numbers, while respectable, are disappointing for fantasy managers who watched the offense struggle, especially without Dak Prescott.

Two years ago, Ferguson was a Pro Bowler after a 71/761/5 campaign. While it’s safe to predict an uptick for the Cowboys offense as a whole in 2025, Ferguson’s zero touchdowns on 86 targets might be the most significant outlier. Dynasty owners should be cautiously optimistic about rolling Ferguson out there even as a TE1. In redraft formats, he is as safe as any tight end dart throw in the later rounds.

I have Ferguson as my TE13 (for redraft) in between Tucker Kraft and Colston Loveland. My ranking primarily relies on a return to form for Dak Prescott and a fair chance that Ferguson’s numbers regress to the mean.
